The Eugene Ormandy family home movies are amateur films shot between 1932 and 1947 by conductor Eugene Ormandy on his own
hand-held camera and by others when Ormandy appears in the films. The content of the films includes scenes of Ormandy conducting
the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic. Also included are arrivals
and departures at train stations along with musicians from his two resident orchestras. Otherwise, the content of the films
is primarily scenes of leisure. The locales include his home in Minneapolis, MN, European cities including London, Vienna,
and Stockholm, and several vacations in the Austrian alps, as well as vacations in Florida, Bermuda, and New Hampshire. There
are also several scenes aboard passenger ships on his way to or from Europe. The people included in his films are primarily
his first wife, Stephanie "Steffy" Goldner Ormandy, as well as her mother, sisters and brother, her sisters' spouses and children,
and friends of the family, many of them musicians.

Much of the unusual and complicated history of Max Bruch's Concerto for two pianos and orchestra, op. 88a, may be traced through
this collection of music manuscripts. The collection consists primarily of full orchestral scores, duo piano parts, orchestral
parts, and supplementary material for the Concerto for two pianos and orchestra, op. 88a, by Max Bruch. Also some unrelated
transcriptions and arrangements. All materials are in manuscript. These materials were heavily altered and used for performance
between 1915 and 1917 by duo pianists Rose and Ottilie Sutro. Subsequently, they were collected by pianist Nathan Twining
from the auction of the effects of pianist Ottilie Sutro in Baltimore, MD, in 1971, and used in his reconstruction of the
piece. Also included are orchestral parts prepared by Twining for his recording of the Concerto with pianist Martin Berkofsky
and the London Symphony Orchestra released in 1974.
